Allah sets forth similitudes for men that they may reflect. And the case of an evil word is like that of an evil tree, which is uprooted from above the earth and has no stability.

To err is human, to correct divine
The sound of the word "err" says it all -- you wanted to stop it in its track and go back in time. An error of judgment can easily get you in deep waters. It is not planned and executed, it just happens -- maybe because we didn't pay enough attention, or maybe we thought it would be fine. Most times we don't even notice it until it's too late. Yes, some do notice and react strongly, but even they realize soon that their hands are soiled, too. Eventually, the society accepts it with all its consequences. It becomes the norm -- a necessary evil of the society.
This is depicted in the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran as the fall of Adam. Adam represents humans. Of course, a fall is involuntary, not deliberate. The Holy Quran uses words like "He slipped," "He forgot" or even assuring that "We did not find any intent on his part." It was an inadvertent sin. Errors or mistakes do have consequences -- the wages of sin. The Holy Quran says, Prophet Adam (Peace be on him.) became aware of his weaknesses as a human. He became extremely remorseful and begged Allah for forgiveness. Allah turned to him with mercy and taught him some prayers to recite and forgave him. God turned the clock back, so to say, and made Adam (Peace be on him.) whole, just as he was before, without blemish. God corrected the error.
